Best Budget Hotels Near Oiso Long Beach
Two hotels near Oiso Long Beach undercut the rest on price without dropping below a strong guest rating: RYOKAN PLUM, a 2-star inn near Odawara Castle rated 9.6, and Have a Nice Day!Odawara, a budget hotel a minute's walk from the castle grounds priced under €35 a night. Both sit inland from the coast around Odawara rather than on the beach itself, trading proximity to Oiso Long Beach for a lower rate and easy castle access — a fair swap for a family prioritising budget over a sea view. Neither charges a resort premium for amenities most budget travellers wouldn't use anyway.
Odawara's castle town has long served budget travellers passing through on the way to Hakone or Tokyo, and RYOKAN PLUM and Have a Nice Day!Odawara both sit in that tradition: modest, family-run, and built around a short walk to the castle grounds and a nearby restaurant rather than a beach view or an onsen bathhouse. Neither property tries to compete with the coastal resorts on amenities, and both score well above 8.5 from guests precisely because they don't overreach on what they promise.

Two Budget Bases Near the Castle
Why do the two cheapest hotels near Oiso Long Beach also carry two of the highest guest ratings in the destination? Because a smaller, family-run budget inn near Odawara Castle can outscore a bigger resort on the basics that actually matter to guests — a clean room, a friendly welcome, an easy walk to dinner — without the resort-scale amenities driving up the price.
RYOKAN PLUM is a 2-star inn a seven-minute walk from Odawara Castle, rated 9.6 by past guests despite its modest amenity list — free Wi-Fi and an on-site restaurant, nothing more. That simplicity is the point: a clean, well-located room near the castle grounds at a fraction of a resort rate, priced around €81 a night with no onsen bathhouse or beach access to pay for. The restaurant on site means dinner is sorted without a walk into central Odawara after a full day of sightseeing, and the near-perfect guest score suggests the basics here are consistently well handled.
Have a Nice Day!Odawara undercuts even that, a minute's walk from Odawara Castle and priced under €35 a night, with paid parking and a kid-friendly tag despite the budget positioning. The 8.6 guest rating suggests the trade-off — a smaller, simpler property without a restaurant of its own — works well for families prioritising location and price over amenities. It remains the lowest rate tracked anywhere near Oiso Long Beach, resort or budget alike, without dropping below a genuinely solid guest score in the process for a stay this close to the castle.
Both hotels put Odawara Castle within walking distance rather than Oiso Long Beach, so a budget stay here suits a castle-and-town itinerary better than a beach-first one; reaching the coast means a taxi or a local Tokaido Line connection rather than a walk from either property. Neither hotel includes free parking, so budget for that separately if arriving by car rather than train, and expect a simpler room than the resort-scale options further along the Sagami Bay coast toward Oiso itself. Neither runs an onsen bathhouse either, so pair a night here with a proper hot-spring stay elsewhere if bathing is part of the plan.
For a family choosing between the two, RYOKAN PLUM's on-site restaurant tips the balance if you'd rather not go hunting for dinner after a day at the castle, while Have a Nice Day!Odawara's lower rate suits a shorter, simpler stop on a longer Kanagawa itinerary. Both are worth booking well ahead, since their guest ratings mean rooms move faster than the modest price point might suggest, especially once word gets around among budget-conscious travellers touring the wider Kanagawa region each school-holiday season. Either way, a Kanagawa trip built around Odawara Castle rarely needs a resort-priced room to work well.
A traveler's takeWe picked Have a Nice Day!Odawara mainly for the price, and the minute's walk to Odawara Castle turned out to be the real win — we wandered the castle grounds twice in one stay, once in the evening when the crowds had thinned, without ever needing a taxi from the hotel.
BudgetRYOKAN PLUM
Check availabilityWhy guests love itWe almost skipped RYOKAN PLUM for its plain listing photos, and that was our mistake to nearly make — the seven-minute walk to Odawara Castle meant we went twice, once at sunset when the crowds had gone, and the on-site restaurant that evening turned out better than anywhere we'd booked at double the price earlier in the trip, dinner sorted without another search.
BudgetHave a Nice Day!Odawara
Check availabilityWhy guests love itWe picked Have a Nice Day!Odawara purely on price and ended up walking to Odawara Castle twice in one stay simply because it was so close — once in the late morning with the kids, and once alone in the evening after they'd gone to sleep, the grounds nearly empty and the castle lit up against the dark, a minute's walk each way.

- 2Choose Have a Nice Day!Odawara if price is the priority; it undercuts every other hotel tracked near Oiso Long Beach.
- 3Plan on a taxi or local train to reach Oiso Long Beach from either budget hotel — both sit near Odawara Castle rather than the coast.
- 4Budget for parking as a separate line item at Have a Nice Day!Odawara, since it's a paid extra on top of the already low room rate.
- 5Book RYOKAN PLUM ahead of peak castle-visiting season; its 9.6 guest rating means rooms move fast despite the budget price point.
